He'll likely get the carries Andre Brown would have otherwise received. Nobody really knew who Brown was until injury struck the Giants last year; Scott may be the 2013 edition. There a reason why nobody is talking about him? Wilson is not going to be a 20+ carry/game guy.

I was actually thinking about him the other day after Brown's injury. There was some hype around him last year as a sleeper but he never did much. Maybe he'll seize this opportunity. I think Wilson is the truth though.

A source tells NFL Network that the Giants will wait and see how Da'Rel Scott performs Sunday before considering a veteran addition at running back.It's notable for two reasons. First, it suggests that Scott is ahead of Michael Cox in the battle to back up explosive workhorse David Wilson. Second, it confirms that the Giants don't want to sign a veteran like Jonathan Dwyer or Beanie Wells before Week 1 because they would then have to guarantee their contract for the whole year. Wilson owners looking for a handcuff are trapped in wait-and-see mode. We're highly skeptical Scott can be anything more than a change-of-pace scatback.
